Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp chilled butter
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • cooking spray
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by setting your oven temperature to 375°F.

  2. 2

    In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the first four ingredients using a whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    In a larger bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Incorporate the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or two knives, blending until the mixture has a texture similar to coarse crumbs.

  5. 5

    Carefully fold in the chocolate chips. Then, add the milk mixture, stirring just until the dough is moistened.

  6. 6

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it gently four times using floured hands.

  7. 7

    Shape the dough into a circle approximately 9 inches in diameter on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it is about 3/4 inch thick.

  8. 8

    With a knife, slice the dough into 12 wedges, cutting all the way through.

  9. 9

    Brush the surface with egg white and sprinkle a layer of sugar evenly on top.

  10. 10

    Bake in the preheated oven until they turn golden, which should take around 18-20 minutes, depending on your oven’s performance. Enjoy them warm.
